"There are a lot of not just unusual, but shocking and maybe never before seen things [in the Tuohys' actions], for even attorneys experienced in this area," said Victoria Haneman, a professor of trusts and estates at the Creighton University School of Law.
The Tuohys said they set up the conservatorship to help Oher with health insurance, a driver's license and being admitted to college.
"At the end of the day, you do not put an adult in a conservatorship because they need help with a driver's license or college applications," Haneman said.
The Tuohys didn't instead adopt Oher because the conservatorship was the fastest way to satisfy the NCAA's concerns that the Tuohys weren't simply steering a talented athlete to Ole Miss, lawyer Randall Fishman said.
"There was one thing to accomplish, and that was to make him part of the family, so that the NCAA would be satisfied because Sean would have been a booster of the university," Fishman said.
"I am frankly floored that any judge allowed them to use the conservatorship in this way, you know, with the purpose of circumventing NCAA rules," Haneman, the Creighton professor said.
"There's no really clear answer as to what the legal obstacle was for them [the Tuohys] to complete the adoption," Haneman said. "They did say (Wednesday) that it was a timing issue, but that timing issue would not have prevented them from completing the adoption while he was at Ole Miss."
Then the article ends with clearly Tuohy-friendly distractions about movie profits and Hollywood and whatnot.
Also conservatorship does not make one part of family. And it is not retroactive. This raises major issues as to why the NCAA permitted conservatorship after-the-fact to excuse recruiting violations. And also whether this "fix" was negotiated in advance of the conservatorship by the Tuohys or someone acting officially or unofficially on behalf of the Tuohys and/or Ole Miss.
Moreover, it raises questions about the judge and the allegiances and connects of the judge who approved the conservatorship.
This is the first evidence I have seen that someone in the media is noticing the actual issues in the Tuohys-Oher case. I just saw it but it was published yesterday.
Be prepared. After the first back-to-back 3 and outs this forum will be filled with people wanting Nico, “just to see what he can do”I just hope if Joe does not perform well in a game or two, fan base doesn't start screaming for Nico. Maybe doing well in practice but it's totally different from in game pressure.....
You're telling me a local judge skirted the law for a rich person?! How uncommon that must be....Also conservatorship does not make one part of family. And it is not retroactive.

No, not necessarily. One is entitled to distribute and withhold assets as one wishes in one's lifetime and in a will. They could have included or disinherited him, as they wished.If they adopt then he would get a third of the fast food fortune right?
This way not an heir to the family fortune.

OTOH, one result of the Tuohys' peculiar use of conservatorship is that the Tuohys were immediately legally responsible for seeking Oher's inclusion in the Tuohys' estate as Oher's sole representatives. And Oher was barred from seeking it in his own name because the Tuohys had rendered Oher something like a juvenile at law.If they adopt then he would get a third of the fast food fortune right?

Sorry to interrupt the Tuohy debate, but I’ve always liked this Twitter feed. About halfway through the video, it’s wild how the pitcher swings his glove hand out ahead of the pitch. Feels like it hides the ball for a tick longer. I love it.
Guarantee you he's an Ole Miss fan.
